As well as this, I've now travelled to/through 9 different states: New York, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut.
I've also been keeping a track of new foods that I've eaten here..
My all time favourite is hashbrown casserole (in the process of learning how to make it so I can have it at home!) Other contenders are Corndogs, hush puppies, jalapeno poppers, grits, ranch, smores and candy corn.
There's so many sayings and different words they use for everyday things.
One that tickles me every time is when you ask someone the time, they don't say 'one o'clock' or 'half one' they say the top or bottom of the hour.. also, they like to be very specific and don't round up or down, so you get a precise 7.14 or 8.22 which sounds funny to me.
